was introduced to the Spread Offense, when I look back at how my offensive philosophy has changed one thing has always remained the same. I have always had my quarterback read at least one defensive player on every play call whether it was a run or a pass call. Back then we primarily ran Inside Zone reading the defensive end (Diagram 1). (Diagram 1-Inside Zone) The run game continued to evolve as we began to read different players in the run game. The strategy was to find the best player on the defense and put him in a conflict where his decision would be always wrong. We wanted to make their best defensive player obsoletes in every game that we played in. We had a lot of success by running power midline, (Diagram-2) and it was a great compliment play to our offense because to the inside linebackers the running back was still taking his inside zone path. 3 Mike Rowe © 2016 All Rights Reserved (Diagram 2-Midline Power) As time went on we started to add different options to our Inside Zone run game. Quarterbacks that were running true spread read were starting to get hurt because they were taking too many hits during the season. To help protect our quarterback we started tagging bubble (Diagram-3) and fast screen (Diagram-4) to eliminate hits, and to put the defensive overhang player in conflict. The purpose was to read two defenders in the same play. If the defensive linemen we were reading the zone dive, the quarterback could keep the football, and take his eyes to the overhang defender. If the defender was chasing the bubble the quarterback would find green grass and run. If the overhang player was playing QB then we had numbers to the screen side, and the quarterback would throw the bubble or quick screen. The spread triple option was continuing to evolve and was starting to add more wrinkles and read different defenders and different levels. (Diagram-3 Bubble) 4 Mike Rowe © 2016 All Rights Reserved (Diagram-4 Fast Screen) In 2012 I had a very athletic quarterback who was smart and could throw that ball very well. One of the schemes defenses were starting to use to defend us was 2 Dog Coverage. 2 Dog Coverage is when you have 2 defenders playing cover two and 5 defenders playing man to man underneath. We wanted to develop an answer to burn teams when they decided to play this coverage. The answer we came up with was building in a QB draw into our pass protection. This allowed us on 3rd and long down and distances to take what the defense was giving us. (Diagram 5). This was the first time our program was using the pass play to set up a run read. What I liked

Seay III - 2 - INTRODUCTION The Wild Bunch celebrates its sixth birthday in 2006. This revised playbook reflects the lessons learned during that period by Wild Bunch coaches on three continents operating at every level from coaching 8-year-olds to semi-professionals. The biggest change so far in the offense has been the addition in 2004 of the Rocket Sweep series (pp. 62-72). A public high school in Chicago and a semi-pro team in New Jersey both reached their championship game using the new Rocket-fueled Wild Bunch. A youth team in Utah won its state championship running the offense practically verbatim from the playbook. A number of coaches have requested video resources on the Wild Bunch, and I am happy to say a DVD project is taking shape which will feature not only game footage but extensive whiteboard analysis of the offense, as well as information on its installation.

  • See Where You Stand. Get Your New Gameplan. Own the Next Season. Prepared for Paul Hefty at State College 9Th Grade L E T T E R F R O M T H E C O - F O U N D E R
    2020 Program Assessment Report See where you stand. Get your new gameplan. Own the next season. Prepared for Paul Hefty at State College 9th grade L E T T E R F R O M T H E C O - F O U N D E R The differences between wins and losses are often measured by yards. We all know this as coaches. A rst down conversion here, or a missed missed block there, can mean the difference between sub-.500 seasons and championships. Traditional coaching philosophies are full of passive rhetoric like, “If only we would have done this.” But the paradigm has shifted to data-driven decisions. Great coaches are recalibrating their mindset from reacting to anticipating. By using the data in this report, you'll be able to control these important game day circumstances. Thanks to Hudl’s national collection of data, we already know the main predictors that separates wins from losses. We're using the 16 most inuential to provide coaches insight on how to get, or stay, on the winning side next fall. The most important thing you can do this offseason is re-evaluate all your successes and failures. We hope our assessment will give you actionable steps to boost your eciency in all these areas. So dive in and get started. You may nd these results to be surprising—and enlightening.

  • NFHS Rules Differences
    NFHS Rules Differences The purpose of these presentations is to highlight the differences between NFHS and NCAA rules. It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all the rules. Many of the NFHS rules definitions in Rule 2 are similar to the relevant rules in the NCAA code. These include: blocking definitions, scrimmage formation and free kick formation. The net effect is that for these definitions, they are administered and/or officiated the same in both codes unless noted below. Also, there are terms that are different but are the same description. These include: restraining line in NFHS is akin to the limit line in NCAA; face tackling/butt blocking are terms akin to using the crown of helmet/facemask to tackle/block, first touching versus illegal touching, boundary lines versus sidelines, free kick lines versus restraining lines. There are others that are defined in only one of the codes, but have no bearing: offensive blocker, captain, non-player, rule, belongs to, deliberate dead ball advance, between downs, forward, beyond, blocking a scrimmage kick, field goal attempt. We are not going to get hung up on the terminology differences and will use the terms interchangeably. Each rule is broken down into three segments: 1) Low importance – defined as items we don’t need to focus on, and will administer as before, 2) Minor importance – items you need to be aware of, but they involve situations that are rare or are not germane to the playing of the game, 3) Major importance – these are the items we need to focus on, especially if they relate to safety.
